About Me

Hi, Another individual to succumb to the Blog. Opting for early retirement, I now spend time doing what I love and that is creating art with a pencil and eraser. I have three University going kids and my other half is running a driving school. I also like to discover homemade concoctions that will boost one's health especially now when we are entering our fifties and beyond. It's more important now than before to keep the body and mind working to enjoy a full life because we have a choice. Finally, I have two miniature Pinschers (Dee Dee and Jay Jay) and Tyson, a mutt(cross between a Roth and a Terrier) and some guppies(small fish) to keep me company.
